How does the experiment work?
Two MPs - one Conservative (Ann Widdecombe - Maidstone and the Weald), one Labour (Richard Caborn - Sheffield Central) - who are both standing down at the next general election - will take part in the experiment facilitated by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ over a three-week period.
They will each use a separate, special People%27s Politician website - which will include a message board, a blog and voting options for constituents on a range of issues along with the opportunity to put forward local and national petitions, the most popular of which will go forward for consideration by the MP.
